Coffman 2003 Home Page

It seems like every year things go by faster and faster.  2003 was no exception.   It was filled with SOCCER, baseball, our annual trip to Orlando/Disney,
a bit of skiing (both snow and water), some diving, horseback riding, hiking, a lot of bike riding, and climbing both on ice and rock. It was also a very LONG and stressful year at "work", but somehow everyone seemed to survive.   It was Tom's last full year in Elementary school, and Kari's last full year in Middle School.  Next year comes the big move into High School!!    There were several school trips including Tom's field trip to Philadelphia and Kari's chorus' trip to Six
Flags (Kerry chaperoned both)..   Kerry also had the chance to see an old friend, Jim Gilroy - from his University of Texas graduate school days..  Jim and his family took a cross country trek (from Washington State) and somehow made it all the way to the East Coast.  That summer, Becky and the kids also took a trip to Myrtle Beach S.C. with her sister Nancy and her family.

Below are a few pictures from 2003, and a lot of links to other 2003 pages - click some of the images and or links to see them.

Here are a few pictures from Jim Gilroy's (and family) visit to New Jersey.  In the first shot there's Alvaro, Jim and Kerry.
The other picture shows Jim and the family.

       


Below are some '03 school trips.  We see Tom at THE Liberty Bell in Philadelphia (in November of 2003), and then we "see" Kari and several of her friends
riding Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure in the Spring of 2003.

There was an early snow in December 2003 (it started on December 5th, which is pretty early in the season).
Below we see a few pictures from that snow storm, including a view of the drive way, the kids at the local sledding
hill, and Tom being "attacked" by a couple of vicious snow wolves in his own front yard!!  Click the small images
to see slightly larger versions.


            

Kari and Tom took pretty nice Holiday pictures that year, and Kerry joined the
modern era in terms of ski attire.  Of course he's still using those HEAVY, straight
 LONG 195 skis!!  Someday he'll join the rest of the world and get some curved/shaped
skis.

 Xmas Picture 2003         Kerry at Mountain Creek (in NJ) notice the LONG dinosaur style of skis.

There are several other specific pages for some 2003.   We had our annual trek to Orlando, there was a LOT of
hiking and biking, along with diving and climbing.   Kerry also had several nice ice climbing trips "up" to the Catskills during
2003.   Click on the specific items in the below table to see some of those pictures.
